Overview

Restore peace of mind to your digital video experience.

Take back control of your YouTube recommendations and search results. FilterTube helps you restore peace of mind to your digital video experience by blocking unwanted content, channels, and distractions. Whether you are trying to avoid spoilers, hide specific topics, block toxic channels, or simply remove the addictive "Shorts" shelf, FilterTube runs entirely on your device to clean up your feed instantly. It's is in BETA but covers almost entire YouTube :) ✨ KEY FEATURES: Keyword Filtering • Block videos containing specific words in titles or descriptions. • Supports exact match or partial match. • Great for avoiding spoilers or topics you aren't interested in. Channel Blocking • Block entire channels by their Handle (@name) or Channel ID or c/ChannelName. • "Filter All Content" mode: Automatically hides any video mentioning blocked channels. • Visual feedback shows you exactly what is being filtered. • Added "Block Channel" directly in the three-dot menu. • Shorts block may take slightly longer because channel IDs are not available in the Shorts UI. Productivity Mode • Hide Shorts: Completely remove the Shorts shelf and tab to stop doom-scrolling. • Hide Comments: Remove the comments section globally or filter out comments containing specific keywords. • Block Collab Videos or any content even in the playlist via the 3 dot menu UI. Privacy First • 100% Local Processing: All filtering logic happens right in your browser. • No Tracking: We do not collect your viewing history or search data. • Lightweight: Designed for performance with minimal impact on page load speed. Dashboard & Stats • Track how much time you've saved by avoiding unwanted content. • Manage your blocklists easily from a modern, clean dashboard. • Dark mode support included. FilterTube is perfect for parents wanting a safer environment, students needing focus, or anyone tired of the algorithm dictating their feed. Note: This extension is not affiliated with YouTube or Google Inc.
